On June 30 the gossip site reported that Harry was 'spotted partying with friends at the notorious Coyote Ugly Saloon in NYC.'

And allegedly the night before their gig, the band rented out a bowling alley near Pittsburgh, PA, for Ashton Irwin - from 5 Seconds of Summer - and stayed 'close to midnight', with Liam Payne tweeting the next morning: 'My head hurts…Can’t even begin to remember who won bowling…'

However Harry has since spoken out to explain his illness, denying it was alcohol related - but revealing it was due to eating so much before the gig.

Speaking to his pal Nick Grimshaw on his BBC radio 1 breakfast show following the gig at three in the morning, Styles said: 'I think everyone thinks it's because I was drinking but it was actually because I ate, I had dinner too close and I was just so full.'

Unwell: Harry could be seen leaning over behind some scaffolding mid-song

Concerned: Liam Payne and Zayn Malick looked back at their friend as he recovered

Wearing a thin white long-sleeved top
and skinny jeans, the curly-haired singer crouched over in the back of
the stage as though he was throwing up at the Pittsburgh venue.

Standing up, it seemed the worst had
passed, but Harry continued to wait out of sight, grabbing a towel to
wipe his face as he crouched down on the floor with a bottle of water.

The
band at that point were performing Rock Me, and lucky for Harry, Liam, 19, Zayn Malick, 20, Louis Tomlinson, 21, and Niall Horan, 19, covered for him
during his solo segments until he was up to returning to the stage.

Help: A roadie comes by to see if Harry is ok

When he eventually came back on stage, the Bolton lad reportedly apologised for his absence.

'I was there!' Radar Online say user
amadak822 posted. 'He got dehydrated and overheated and ended up
throwing up backstage. :( He missed Rock Me but came back right after
and said, "Sorry bout that!"'

But the ill-feelings weren't over for
the 19-year old as during Teenage Dirtbag, he had to go off stage again
after performing the opening verse.

It's OK mate: Liam taps Harry so he knows he can go off stage for a break

Clearly his bandmates could sense his unease, and so Liam tapped on the shoulder to let him know it was OK to take a break.

As
they say the show must go on, and it certainly did with four healthy
members left, but luckily for the fans that wasn't the last they saw of
Mr Styles, who jumped back onto the stage with energetic vigour.

With another 22 dates on their North American tour to go, let's hope whatever made Harry ill doesn't continue on the road as they go on to the next gig.
